Crappie
Crappie fishing around Albany, Georgia can be very rewarding, especially in the calmer waters of Lake Chehaw and the backwaters of the Flint River. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, when crappie move shallow to spawn near brush piles and submerged trees. Use live minnows or small jigs under a bobber, adjusting the depth until you find the fish. Local anglers often have success targeting crappie around bridge pilings and docks. In the fall, crappie will school up again as the water cools, so look for them near deeper structure. A key tip is to pay attention to water temperature – crappie become less active in very cold water, so adjust your presentation accordingly. Check local reports for recent stocking information, as this can impact the size and abundance of crappie in the area.
